History
The node name is derived from the Hindu goddess Uranavati. It was called Uruvan during the rule of Madhavrao I, the fourth Peshwa of the Maratha Empire. Later, the area was named Uran by the Portuguese and Ooran by the British.
Many Indian dynasties have ruled the area. In early history, these included the Maurya Empire, Sātavāhana Empire, Western Kshatrapas, Vākāṭaka Empire, Chalukyas, and Yadavas.
The area around Mumbai, including Uran, was under Portuguese and British rule in the 16th to 19th centuries.
Uran was subject to the Maratha princely states in the Maharashtra. It was the base of the Maratha Sarkhel (Admiral) Kanhoji Angre, who battled European naval interests in the 18th century.
